You're kinda trying to rewrite history here. You went through a i hate everyone in Monero and hope you die stage and then claim you told people to buy it, so it's more like you posted completely contradictory information on Monero.

Let's not even get into the Bitcoin and metals stuff...

This bear trap is why gold and crypto-currencies have not likely seen their lows yet and I am still expecting a selloff in gold to $850 or below and Bitcoin to below $150.

As for current metals situation, I think the best gold miners can put out gold around $900, while the not as good gold producers can put it out at $1200-1250, so it's mostly at cost of production already for the averaged unit. While silver is also basically at cost of production for a lot of people:

Unless the price of oil collapses more, which they seem to try and prevent from happening since it triggers further deflationary collapse, it doesn't seem that easy to push down metals much more. As people have noticed, central bankers haven't let deflationary collapse occur since the great depression, so if it actually did happen, it would entirely be a conscious decision from insiders and have absolutely nothing to do with capital flows

The system is ALWAYS in this same fragile state, where the money required to service the debt is greater than the principal, so it's always sitting on the edge of deflationary collapse by default. It's NOTHING new. This is the basis of Keynesianism. There is no aggregate market and the market just goes whatever way they send it. Whether it dies by deflation or inflation is all due to a few heebs sitting in a room somewhere.

Someone is now going to respond with, "but Japan was unable to ignite inflation with QE so that can't be right". Yes, QE does absolutely nothing in the near term for reasons explained in the following video by Richard Koo, but it does create hyperinflation later on:

So QE doesn't work, but things like direct fiscal stimulus on infrastructure does, ala building bridges to nowhere or Chinese ghost cities. So don't tell me they can't ignite inflation if they want to; they easily can. Everything is Keynesian and everything is the result of whatever Keynesian decision they make, not capital flows. Martin Shillstrong knows all this but he just flat out lies and claim we live in a deterministic universe and that the price of metals is not manipulated (LOL).

It's right out in plain sight where they said in internal documents that they have to manipulate the price of metals in order to skirt the zero bound on interest rates. Hence why you have charts that look like this with metals on sale for even lower than their already manipulated low prices in a giant inverse bubble that's going to eventually skyrocket:
